Journal ArticleDOI

Anthony K. Mbonye,Miriam Sentongo,Gelasius Mukasa,Romano Byaruhanga,Olive Sentumbwe-Mugisa,Peter Waiswa,Hanifah Naamala Sengendo,Patrick Aliganyira,Margaret Nakakeeto,Joy E Lawn,Kate Kerber +10 more
TL;DR: Uganda's neonatal mortality rate reduced by 2.2% per year between 2000 and 2010, which is greater than the regional average rate of decline but slower than national reductions in maternal mortality and under-five mortality after the neonatal period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tuberculosis in household contacts of infectious cases in Kampala, Uganda.
David Guwatudde,Margaret Nakakeeto,Edward C. Jones-López,A. Maganda,Allan Chiunda,Roy D. Mugerwa,Jerrold J. Ellner,G.B. Bukenya,Christopher C. Whalen +8 more
TL;DR: Host risk factors could not be completely separated from the effects of environmental risk factors, suggesting that a household may represent a complex system of interacting risks for tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Therapeutic hypothermia for birth asphyxia in low-resource settings: a pilot randomised controlled trial
Nicola J. Robertson,Margaret Nakakeeto,Cornelia Hagmann,Frances M. Cowan,Dominique Acolet,Osuke Iwata,Elizabeth Allen,Diana Elbourne,Anthony Costello,Ian Jacobs +9 more
TL;DR: Rigorous randomised trials to determine the safety and efficacy of therapeutic hypothermia in this context are urgently needed so that any benefits of this novel therapy can reach areas of the world that might need it most.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Nine out of top ten identified priorities were in the domain of research on improving delivery of known interventions, with simplified neonatal resuscitation program and clinical algorithms and improved skills of community health workers leading the list.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heritability analysis of cytokines as intermediate phenotypes of tuberculosis.
Catherine M. Stein,David Guwatudde,Margaret Nakakeeto,Pierre Peters,Robert C. Elston,Hemant K. Tiwari,Roy D. Mugerwa,Christopher C. Whalen +7 more
TL;DR: This analysis illustrates the value of such intermediate phenotypes in mapping susceptibility loci for TB and demonstrates that this area deserves further research.
